Emoji – the global pop stars of digital communication
-
@Catweazle I haven't seen any emojis in decent literature so far. It may as well be, but that doesn't mean they are needed. They are the exception rather than the norm.
That being said, I'm not against emojis, quite the opposite. We just shouldn't fool ourselves into thinking that they are needed to express emotions. Emojis can be fun, are certainly casual and do not hurt anyone. Excessive use and abuse however, can sometimes be a little annoying – like so many things on the web
(random tongue for the win). -

Comic sans? A great font for low-resolution interfaces, with great accessibility for those with reading issues.
And yet most people hate it as a result of over use.

@MoonDawg I see. An emoji for "cool." Sunglasses and gotee.

Whoa! What about Emily Bronte's adept & very apropos deployment of emojis to supplement Cathy's verbal expressions of utter woeful misery at Heathcliffe's abominable mistreatment of her in Wuthering Heights?
Who could possibly forget Jane Austen's skilful indeed masterly incorporation of emojis to fully encapsulate Fanny Price's sense of wonderment & agogity [patent pending] as she texted her cherished younger sister, Susan, of the sweeping opulence witnessed at Mansfield Park?
Surely the case is comprehensibly proven? [even if you're not Shirley].

I have wondered sometimes if emoji was based partly on the different Webdings fonts when they first came out.
Unicode has an emoji chart (shows how they look on a few different clients)

Perhaps they might be connected to some sort of western ideogram adaptation.

Can't say I'm a fan though I'll occasionally use a smiley thingy :).
I often get messages from the young ones with lines of these things. Can't figure them out so I have to call them from my "Land Line" to ask what they're saying. ;-)} -
However I would be convenient to have the same user-friendly emoji popup on Linux just like on Windows or macOS.

@rebatnaath , non-verbal communication is 70% of our communications. If we dialogue with a person in real life, mimicry and gestures are an important part of this dialogue, which are lacking in written communication. This is why emojis are often essential, when otherwise what is written can be misinterpreted, using emojis-image or emoji-text is irrelevant for this propose.

@luetage , no, in the literature the reaction or emotions of an interlocutor are described, which in a chat or post is certainly very inappropriate (I said with some irony and difficulty to hide a smile)
